Verify Your WhatsApp Business Display Name

Your WhatsApp Business Display Name is the name customers see when they chat with your business or view your WhatsApp profile.

When you add a new phone number to your WhatsApp Business Account in your Meta Business Portfolio, you’ll need to assign a Display Name to it. This name helps customers easily recognize your business and maintain trust while interacting with you on WhatsApp.

If you’re using the 3Sigma WhatsApp Business API, setting an approved display name ensures your messages appear professional and fully compliant with WhatsApp’s business policies.

🏷️ What Is a Display Name?

Your display name should clearly represent your business — it must be related to your company, brand, or service.

Examples: ✅ SmartBuild Infra Pvt. Ltd. ✅ Elite Realty by SmartBuild ✅ GrowMore Finance Services ❌ Best Deals in Town ❌ Official SmartBuild Verified

Your name must comply with the WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy and the Display Name Guidelines.

If your WhatsApp account is managed by a Business Solution Provider (BSP) — such as 3Sigma — your BSP will help configure and submit your display name for review.

🔍 WhatsApp Display Name Review Process

You can start using WhatsApp Business Platform immediately after onboarding — you don’t have to wait for the display name review to complete.

Once your business starts using WhatsApp:

1. ✅ WhatsApp reviews your Display Name for consistency and compliance.

2. 📈 The name becomes eligible for formal review as your messaging limit increases.

3. 🔔 You’ll be notified once your display name is approved or if changes are required.

If you edit your display name later, the new version will go through a fresh review before it can appear publicly.

🌟 WhatsApp Official Business Account (Green Tick)

🏢 Well-known or widely recognized 📰 Mentioned in credible publications or has a strong online presence

Official business verification is applied per phone number, and can use your current or updated display name when applying.

Examples: ✅ Hindware Home Innovation ✅ GrowMore Finance ✅ Elite Realty by SmartBuild ❌ Top Property Deals (too generic)
